Most runs conceded by a bowler taking six wickets in an ODI:-59 Waqar/ Nehra-55 Sreesanth/ Stirling-54 Dananjaya

-This was only the second instance of a team losing seven wickets in an innings where a bowler took a six-fer.Previous: Zim vs WI, Harare, 2003 (Fidel Edwards 6/22)

-231 is the 2nd lowest total for India to have two 100+ stands. Lowest: 229/1 vs NZ, Baroda, 2010

-6/54 is the second best figures in a losing cause against India after 6/14 by Imran Khan in Sharjah in 1985 (the best ever). Also, the best for SL in a losing cause. (Previous: 5/9 by Murali vs NZ, Sharjah, 2002)

-All the four teams lost the 800th ODI.-Aus by 7 wkts-India by 87 runs-Pakistan by one run-Sri Lanka by 3 wickets

Too bad you not say a word for Indias 375 highest in SL by any team 219 partnership highest in SL by any team MS in his 300 th game put on 100, before he came to bats, India lost 4 for 49 but he and Pandey 50 not out put India on Driver seat.

Big test for Shardul and Kuldeep because MalinGa and DK ( guy who stunned India at pallekele) gone for 80 and 70 in their 10 overs here.ndia lost their last ODI here.

India has to play again here at Colombo on Sunday 50/50 and coming wed 20/20 on sep 6 th

Ponting 82 scores of 50 vs VK = 44 score of 50 but jayasurya I think played 445 ODI matches for 29 ODI century vs VK who hits 29 in 193 ODI But JAYASURYA LEGEND with 320 wickets and 68 scores of 50.Sangakara 90+ scores of 50 but less than SRT.

After a couple of fascinating wins in the last two days by Windies and Bangladesh, things returned to normalcy as India continued their domination over Sri Lanka. Virat Kohli won the toss in the fourth One-Day International and opted to bat for the first time this series and India finished with 375 for 5. Kohli led the way with 131 while Rohit Sharma scored 104, following his unbeaten 124 in the third ODI. Manish Pandey and MS Dhoni also chipped in with 50 and 49 respectively with their 74-ball 101 fifth-wicket stand helping India to the massive total after a mini-collapse in the middle.

Stats highlights from India's innings at RPS:

5 Instances of a team having three captains in a bilateral series - Sri Lanka have used the services of Upul Tharanga, Chamara Kapugedara and Lasith Malinga in this series so far. The last such instance came when Zimbabwe had three in the home series against England in 2001. The only other time Sri Lanka had three skippers in any series was during the Asia Cup in Bangladesh in 1998.

2 Dhoni became the second wicketkeeper to appear in 300 ODIs after Kumar Sangakkara who played 360 games. In addition to the 297 ODIs for India, he also appeared in three matches for Asia XI in 2007.

2076 Runs by Kohli against Sri Lanka - nearly one fourth of his career ODI runs. He became the fifth player to score 2000 runs against them and his 44 innings to the landmark is the fewest, one less than Dhoni's 45. Only Sachin Tendulkar has accumulated 2000 runs in fewer innings against an opponent - in 40 innings against Australia while Viv Richards also took 44 innings against Australia.

29 ODI hundreds for Kohli - third most by any player in history only behind Sachin Tendulkar's 49 and Ricky Ponting's 30. He went past Sanath Jayasuriya's 29 hundreds in 445 ODIs during today's knock.

131 by Kohli is the joint highest by any captain in ODIs hosted by Sri Lanka. He equaled Arjuna Ranatunga's unbeaten 131 against India at the same venue in 1997.

3 Double hundred partnerships between Rohit and Kohli in 55 innings together - the joint most by any pair alongside Sachin Tendulkar-Sourav Ganguly, Upul Tharanga-Mahela Jayawardene and Gautam Gambhir-Kohli. This was the tenth instance of Kohli being involved in a 200-plus stand, four more than anyone else in history.

219-run stand between Rohit and Kohli is the highest ever second wicket partnership in ODIs in Sri Lanka. They went past the unbeaten 197-run stand between Shikhar Dhawan and Kohli in the first match if this ODI series in Dambulla.

85 Balls taken by Rohit to reach his hundred - the fastest of his 13 ODI centuries. The only other time he scored a hundred in less than 100 balls was against South Africa in Kanpur in 2015. 104 is the second lowest score among his 13 ODI hundreds after the unbeaten 101 against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in 2010.

73 Instances of MS Dhoni remaining unbeaten in his 300 ODIs - the most by any player. He went past 72 not-outs each by Chaminda Vaas and Shaun Pollock. 42 of those not-outs have come in the second innings. He has scored 161 runs in three innings this series without getting dismissed.

375 for 5 is the third highest total ever in ODIs in Sri Lanka and highest against the home side. They went past 363 for 5 against the home side at the same venue in 2009. Only Sri Lanka's 398 for 5 against Kenya in Kandy in 1996 and Pakistan's 385 for 7 in Dambulla in 2010 are higher totals in Sri Lanka.

168 Losing margin for Sri Lanka - the heaviest inflicted on them in a home ODI in terms of runs. The previous heaviest defeat at home was by 147 runs, also against India at the same venue in 2009. Overall, this is their third biggest against India in terms of runs after the 183-run drubbing in Johannesburg in 2003 and 169-run defeat in Cuttack in 2014.

Only t20 coming up, I wish SL good luck because Chandimal says,'' Frankly speaking, we can not control toss, you win toss, you win matches here, but today, they win toss, 184 for 3 but within 55 runs surrender and Lost''

what dampener of series tour. man even i am not happy following this and lost interest. a cricket match needs to be a contest, i hate it when one team drops pants and bend over before another team match after match. nauseating indeed. waiting to follow some real cricket.

Unlike India, the All Blacks win in NZ, South Africa, Eng and Aus. Get some ace seam bowlers that bowl more than yorkers before making these claims, India fans. Has India ever won a single test in Straya?!

Australia in the Bradman or Warne/McGrath eras or Windies circa 80s are AB comparisons on results. Pele era Brazil football - but Indian cricket; get real.

As much as it pains me to say; Australian Cricket is the historical benchmark, and their domination of cricket is not AB like.

Law 31.6 - benefit of the doubt for an dismissal appeal goes to the batsmanA third umpire call for a run out or stumping is a referral, not a review.
